Epulaeryu
A new form to play with for us.

The Epulaeryu is developed by Dr Joseph Spence Sr, a well known American poet. In Europe though, the poet, and this form is until now unknown, and the dwelled on my notebook list as one to figure out.

http://www.shadowpoetry.com/resources/wip/epulaeryu.html mentiones a few examples of this form, and the "rules"

The Epulaeryu is about delicious food.
It consists of seven lines with thirty-three (33) syllables.
The first line has seven (7) syllables, the second line five (5), the third line seven (7), the fourth line five (5), the fifth line five (5), the sixth line three (3), and the seventh line has only one (1) syllable which ends with an exclamation mark.

The form is 7/5/7/5/5/3/1.

Each line has one thought which is about the main course. Therefore, this poetic form, the Epulaeryu, which has corresponding lines built around the main course and ending with an exclamation point, concludes with the ending line expressing the writer’s excitement and feelings about the poem. The poem may be rhymed or unrhymed.

The title does not count as part of the poem...

My example:

Wietse's Curry

Chicken breast sliced down in cubes
baked in oil, seasoned
with spices, celery and
hot potato cubes,
carrots, tomatoes,
and white rice.
Yum!
